Inside the new terminal, I got these images from LinkedIn, there are several more on there, I have reached my attachments limit.

Certainly no claustrophobic vibe to that building. Let's hope post refurb, the old terminal will become less so.

I wonder what those big white boxes on the floor are?

The look like they're for FIDS.

They may well be ending up on the ceiling.

 

[HX3]

Thanks for the explanations

 

[jackLBA]

They may well be ending up on the ceiling.

Hopefully so, but even if they don’t they will probably have seating surrounding them so it will look fine.

I wonder what those big white boxes on the floor are?

They are floor standing ventilation units, the air is circulated from under the floor instead of overhead.

Are they used to lock up members of the group who shall not be named? I only ask because they seem to vent at any given opportunity!

Seems rather odd. They spend a lot of money planning with a view to reduce pillars only to replace them with these. I don't think they look too bad but they would be better at ceiling level.

For example:

Perhaps it means it’s possible to have a lighter, and therefore cheaper, roof structure by placing the load on the floor rather than the roof.

Psychological though if they put FID’s on then all of a sudden they are of use to the passenger. And not seen as something “in the way”.

True but on the CGI it shows FIDS on the ceiling. I suppose we'll have to wait for the finished product.

Had a tour of the terminal today. Some takeaways:

Departures:
• The HVAC units are staying on the floor, but they don't detract from the space.
• The main food&drink outlet is immense. There will be some seating outside of the outlet with QR codes to order drinks to the seat.

Arrivals
• Passport E-Gates won't be installed for 12-18 months. No reason given.
• Reclaim facilities feel like a major international airport.

Everywhere feels cavernous, bright and airy. Low ceilings are not a concern. Currently, there are 72 movements per day requiring buses. When the terminal upgrades are finished, this will be reduced to 8!
The airport is already in talks with tenders regarding a two-storey pier and gates system, looking to start the ball rolling within the next 2 years.
Gutting of the current terminal will begin the day after the extension goes live. It even smells like the new Burger King fryers are already going.

Do we know who the new F&B outlets will be yet? I presume all the ones currently will move in?

 

[Aviador]

No more pictures? All sounds very impressive. You say the arrivals looks like a major international airport facility, did you get to see it all, including the parts that will initially be closed off or is your view on the basis of just what you could see with the three belts?

Has the flooring been done yet and is it tiled properly or is it the dredded floor vynal tiles?

Re Immigration. If I remember correctly I think it was stated it was the government Border Force responsible for passport egates and it will be up to them to install those.

Just the three belts. Flooring is done. Departures for the most part is properly tiled. Think arrivals is the same, with service corridors etc being lino. Pictures not allowed, unfortunately.

Burger king is confirmed, there is a small duty free vendor by the windows and the main food&drink outlet i have no idea.
